Well, we need copyright notices on anything that is non-trivial. "empty"
files, or files which just #include something are trivial for instance,
since they are meant to be that simple. For anything else, it's better
to add a copyright notice, because otherwise if people adds code to them
they won't dare adding the copyright notice, and then we'd have
non-trivial files without copyright notice.

Thanks,
Samuel

Attached is an updated pdf file with builds of glibc for three
different versions of gnumach, and running qemu with option cache=none.
The latest kernel is affected most by this change. Any other build test
you want me to make?

Thanks!
